Absolutely loved Deadwood

In Reply to: RE: I'm a relative newbie to tv miniseries: I liked "Deadwood" a hell of a lot. Take a moment, posted by tinear on May 15, 2011 at 16:14:00

TV is better than movies and it isn't close because the really good tv is better and longer lasting. Of course there are 1,000 bad shows for every 1 good one. Deadwood, Rome, Dexter, Rubicon, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Veronica Mars, The Killing, the absolute best is The Wire, Treme, Arrested Development, Battlestar Galactica, Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, The X Files, Fringe, Twin Peaks, Oz, Band of Brothers, The Pacific, the Prisoner, and there are others people love which I don't watch like Mad Men, Breaking Bad, 6 Feet Under, Big Love. True Blood has its moments. Spartacus is just sloppy, bad fun. Real Time with Bill Maher is really good as is the Daily Show and Colbert Report. I'm sure I'm forgetting many.

Another Rubicon fan! That makes two of us. Oddly enuf, heard it got picked up fro Season 2 - Road Warrior 06:32:27 05/16/11 (5)
I found the show as slow as mollasses in winter yet wildly addictive. The pacing allowed the plot to develop naturally and the suspense to slowly build. Direction and acting were first rate.

Surprised "Justified" wasn't on your list.

- I had the same reaction to Rubicon. Thought it was canceled though. nt - Daryl Zero 11:45:29 05/16/11 (0)

  Its my favorite show right now. Jeez. Game of Thrones is intriguing as well.
- good call! Justified (especially season 2) is tense and well done - PhilJ 06:43:08 05/16/11 (2)

  thanks

  - My bad. No season 2 for Rubicon. - Road Warrior 11:10:36 05/16/11 (1)
    At least everything was nicely wrapped up in the Season ender. I guess it was too slow for the masses. I'd still recommend Tin rent Season 1.
